Granular Gas Cooling and Relaxation to the Steady State in Regard to the Overpopulated Tail of the Velocity Distribution
Thorsten Poeschel, Nikolai V. Brilliantov, Arno Formella
We present a universal description of the velocity distribution function of granular gases, , valid for both, small and intermediate velocities where is close to the ther…

Impact of high-energy tails on granular gas properties
Thorsten Poeschel, Nikolai Brilliantov, Arno Formella
The velocity distribution function of granular gases in the homogeneous cooling state as well as some heated granular gases decays for large velocities as $f\propto\exp(- {\rm cons…
